Can the South Remain Standing?

The South won’t have to rise again…just remain standing, while the rest of America falls. This quote has appeared time and time again on numerous Facebook pages and blogs of “True Southrons.” It appeared most recently at the echo chamber of fiction southern romance novel writer, Connie Chastain. Usually I just scoff at such statements, they

Confederate Tea Party

Chattanooga, TN is an area rich in Civil War history, as well as numerous other events and eras. It is really no surprise that the largest local paper, the Chattanooga Times Free Press, is usually littered with pictures, articles and notes about the past. The Civil War usually garners the most attention in the fair city,

Isabel’s Coca-Cola Response

The below post is a response to my previous article about the “It’s Beautiful” Coca-Cola commercial. Isabel Otero, a high school chum and peer of mine, left a comment on that post. I felt that Isabel’s voice, especially on a matter of which she has personal experience as a Puerto Rican American, deserved to be a

Whenever and wherever the flag is

The Modern Interpretation of the Founders?

Warning: I do not usually post such vulgarity, but it is relevant. If you abhor swearing DO NOT WATCH   ————————————————————————————————————————– An interesting take on the Founding Fathers. It does make me reflect on this country’s drug debate, and how the Founding Fathers might comment on the issue. Oh, did I mention Abe Lincoln has

Just ask Connie Chastain, David Tatum, and the Southern Nationalist Network. This level of hostility towards Sherman usually has to do with his “March to the
